Recognizing What They Had, 20 Years Too Late (transcript)

My views

I think that all people have what they could tell or ask important things to an important person. Probably, we couldn't notice that it's important, even if someone advised it to us. We always think that our decisions are right at that time.

I think that all things that happened to us is inevitable but it's not by chance.

What you couldn't tell him is the reason that you remember him and it reminds you of him.

I recognize that what you’ve had is beautiful 20 years.

Leah Chase and Pat Mitchell : An interview with the Queen of Creole Cuisine

TEDWomen 2017

Leah Chase and Pat Mitchell : An interview with the Queen of Creole Cuisine (transcript)

Summary 

In New Orleans, there has still been a famous restaurant Dooky Chase where white and black people come together, activists plan protests but the police doesn't disturb them during the civil rights movement. The speaker is its owner Leah Chase who is a chef and is known as the Queen of Creole Cuisine. 

When she was young, women couldn't have the education that we have today. At that time, whites and blacks couldn't eat and work together, and men and women weren't equal also. However, she worked hard, so her mother-in-law first started a little sandwich shop. Her mother was just a kind person, she liked to do things for you, and she liked to give. 

The speaker tells us that maybe that helped her out and nobody bothered her. It led to creating a safe haven where people who were working on civil rights could come together and work to change the laws. Then the restaurant became a bridge between the past and present, and she worked and did what she could do hard, even if she couldn't have a good education. 

Everyone can do something for their city. Living in the city means participating with everyone. We continue to give (feed) someone well. We, especially women today, are in great positions that she never thought she could see. We have to build more.

"life is to endure fate, to frolic fortune and to fulfill a mission".

This is the famous quote that President Yoshimitsu Kobayashi at Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Inc.

「宿命に耐え、運命と戯れ、使命に生きる」

"life is to endure fate, to frolic fortune and to fulfill a mission".

I wanted to know how I could explain this Japanese quote in English for a long time. I used the internet though I didn't know. Please help me.

I made this sentence though I didn't have courage where people understand it well or not.  

I think that the quote really shows Japanese entrepreneur's mind that other countries probably never use "endure" for yheir life and also the mind of Japanese people who don't show what they really think. They secretly aim at achieving success and engage their mission.

So people say that their life must be fun, can find happiness and they can enjoy it though I think that life is tough. Only the moment you forget painfulness, you can feel happiness.

"life is to endure fate, to frolic fortune and to fulfill a mission".

All tests - Relational psychology - The river

My answer was the worst possible outcome.

All tests - Relational psychology - The river

Rank five people according to their actions in a scenario in which a lady attempts to cross a river in order to be reunited with her boyfriend.

Charlie and Linda who are very much in love and devoted to one another, are separated by a river with no way of getting across to the other side. On Linda's side of the river, there is a boatman who is able to take her over to the other side of the river but refuses to do so unless she pays him $100, twice his normal fare. Linda has no money and has no other way to get back across the river. Another man, Steve, then tells Linda that he will giver her $100 if she sleeps with him. Linda agrees to do so and on receiving the $100, pays the boatman who takes her over to the other side of the river. She is reunited with Charlie and they are very happy together. However, Charlie's friend, Felix, finds out what happened and immediately tells Charlie. On learning the news, Charlie finds Linda and ends things with her, stating that he wants nothing more to do with her.

My answer

Charlie

Felix

Linda

Boatman

Steve

This was the nasty story though all people would have its thought.

I hate Charlie the most and can't completely forgive him because he changes his mind. Even she did a bad thing though she did it for him. I think that he has to forgive her whatever may happen.

If Felix didn't say anything, people were happy. If l were Felix, I say nothing.

I think that Linda should think about other ideas to meet him, and boatman should bring her for free. Steve is a boring person but he has money.

What do those mean?

Analysis

Your task is to rank these five people, according to how much you sympathize with their characters or identify with their actions.

Here is what each character in the story represents:


Boatman: Business
Charlie: Chastity
Felix: Friendship
Linda: Love
Steve: Sex

Your answer reveals how you rank business, chastity, friendship, love and sex, and therefore their importance in your life.
People having similar ranking systems tend to be compatible - not surprisingly, since the above choices are an important indicator of character and values. People who give opposite or mutually random answers tend not to get along well.

Christen Reighter : I don't want children-stop telling me l’ll change my mind

TED 2016
Christen Reighter : I don't want children-stop telling me l’ll change my mind  (transcript)
Summary
I think that I can’t say its title aloud, because people think that women should give birth in Japan.
Nowadays, according to the article, one in five women in the United State seems not to have a choice that they have a child.
When the speaker was a child, she noticed that she never wanted children but she was continually asked when she got married and when she was going to have a baby.
And then, she had removed a single path to parenthood surgically. Doctors didn't agree with it and they showed disapproval though her decision was strong.
Women have the amazing ability to create babies though the world should not decide that it’s the woman’s value.
I think that this problem is like acknowledging transgender surgery.
We have to create a world where we can understand each other without surgery.

Laura Schulz : The surprisingly logical minds of babies

TED 2015
Laura Schulz : The surprisingly logical minds of babies (transcript)
Summary
In this TED talk, the speaker tells us a special ability that very young children have. They can't talk yet though they can learn so much from so little and so quickly.
This is the fundamental mechanisms of human cognition and it seems to appear when they try to solve two problems that are  problem of generalization and of causal reasoning.
The problem of generalization means to be able to develop expectations about something and to extend it to almost everything for the rest of their lives.
Another problem of causal reasoning means how babies can use data when they make decisions on what to do.
It leads to being able to think about a connection between two things. Results of this experiment were remarkable, Chris Anderson said that the research was insane at the end of this talk, though.
I think that babies are really honest. I want to say what we are learning, we've had great ability, though.
Then the speaker left shocking messages to us.
This is a story about the problem of human minds but brains.
Our human minds can only perform thought we get the world right.
However. humans are fallible, we take shortcuts, err, make mistakes and we take world wrong in many ways.
This experiment has told us how we start from very small children and continue studying a lot of things.
We need more investment in our minds as same as an elegant form of technology, engineering, design, and brains to study.
We've started having with logical minds from very small children.
Is the way you go getting the world right?

Daniel Kahneman : The riddle of experience vs. memory

TED 2010
Daniel Kahneman : The riddle of experience vs. memory (transcript)
Summary
I knew that the speaker published some books about behavioral economics.
Economics is to deal with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, or the material welfare of humankind and to study it. It’s said that people preferentially and rationally think about their benefit.
However, people’s actions have been irrational. The speaker forces it.
He is a psychologist, a founder of behavioral economics and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
He declared that economics should be mixed with people's actions, their emotions, and environment because of their irrationality. This is the new economics called behavioral economics.
Then he says that people aren't able to perceive their happiness unfortunately because of several cognitive traps. People are reluctant to admit complex things about happiness that is not a useful word. 1) They confuse between experience and memory 2) but they focus illusions. 3)
Those become the cognitive traps of human beings. When we think about our happiness, we can't think about the distinction between the happiness of the experiencing selves and the satisfaction of the remembering selves and also we can't think about them without disturbing. Our experiments turn our remembrance continuously. At that moment, it's not being confirmed. Between them, there is in conflict but they are really different. All things depend on how you think, and on whether you think of the remembering self or you think of the experiencing self.
However, among them, there are some types of laws and to study it is behavioral economics.
It will take a while and be necessary to be debated.

behavioral economics / a method of economic analysis that applies psychological insights into human behaviour to explain economic decision-making.

Margrethe Vestager : The new age of corporate monopolies

TED 2017
Margrethe Vestager : The new age of corporate monopolies (transcript)
Summary
This is the truth that the new age is coming for corporate monopolies though I think that this is a difficult problem.
I think that some examples are not good in the TED talk this time. It's because Google and Apple are thought to be very good companies by almost all people, even if they broke antitrust rules so far.  I thought that the speaker’s side must be thought to be wrong because she fined Google $2.8 billion for breaking antitrust rules, she asked Apple for $15.3 billion in back taxes, but she said that she wanted to keep European markets competitive. 
I think that I'm afraid that this is the same that general people run with the man who has the world record of 100 meters and thanks to him, people can have motivation.
However, it doesn't mean that he can do anything that is making trouble for others.
I think that current opposite opinions will be created from only your envy and just your hate and those won't have the good alternative ideas, especially government sites and organizations. I think that the true power of competition rules is in the people's thought. Rules should be able to draw its power.

Paul Knoepfler : The ethical dilemma of designer babies

TED 2015
Paul Knoepfler : The ethical dilemma of designer babies  (transcript)
Summary
I didn't know what designer babies are and I was very surprised that we have to still ready for the coming designer babies revolution.
Designer babies mean to create genetically modified people who are upgraded.
They can be altered physical appearances and be eliminated the risk of auto-immune diseases. They are incredibly intelligent, beautiful, tall, athletic and healthy. They have lower health care costs. Just they are with upgrades and kids who have no genetic modification are called naturals. In fact, there is no law on this yet in many countries, thus you could do it in theory. Then the speaker tells us that governments might start accepting this because GM ( genetically modified) child is healthy and it expects lower care costs. He thinks that we need to put a hold on this because it definitely has negative consequences that people don't tell, but there are many people who don't disagree with him. He also said to educate and engage with the public and people. We have to talk about this more because the public hasn't known about it well.
However, I think that if people know about this well, many people want to start doing, even if it's not allowed. Probably, people don't feel fear because all people become GM. I don’t use it, though.

Words in this story
dilemma /noun/ a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones.
extraordinary /adj/ very unusual or remarkable.
freak /noun/adj/verb/ behave or cause to behave in a wild and irrational way, typically because of the effects of extreme emotion, mental illness, or drugs.

Chetan Bhatt : Dare to refuse the origin myths that claim who you are

TED 2015
Chetan Bhatt : Dare to refuse the origin myths that claim who you are  (transcript)
Summary
We have to notice that from now, clinging to pure identities is a sign of immaturity, and ethnicity, nationalist, and religious traditions are bad for us. It's because there are still a lot of wars that are, in fact, the rages of identity come from our different religions and races.
We ask where you come from too much. When a person rejects what people call his religion or his country, he becomes someone else. He refuses to be who he is. He recreates himself and becomes involved in some armed groups. He rejects his backgrounds to become a new person essentially.
We should know about distinct worlds of truth. Our social and political life should be governed by our reason, not by religion. They should be separated and the truth is our reason. Beyond religion and nationality, we have to know each other.
Don't keep from connecting with humanity as a whole. We know about you from not “where are you from?” but from “where are you going?”

Words in this story
immaturity / the state of being immature or not fully grown.
clinging / (of a person or animal) hold on tightly to.
distinct /adj/  clear, unmistakable, easily, recognizably different in nature from something else of a similar type.

Christiane Amanpour : How to seek truth in the era of fake news

TED 2017
Christiane Amanpour : How to seek truth in the era of fake news (transcript)
Summary
After all, are the problems solved by love?
Christiane Amanpour is known for TV news legend and uncompromising approach to reporting and interviewing.
She tells us that we have to be really careful where we get our information from. We have to take responsibility for what we read, listen to, watch and we have to make sure what the trust is. Now, in the world, many people are going to be wandering along to a potential catastrophe.
People are depending on the internet too much and they are relieved because there is the internet. They believe that its promise is to exponentially explode our access to more democracy, more information, less bias, more varied information.
However, in fact, the opposite has happened.
The most shocking thing is that when you're neutral, you are an accomplice. We often say that we must be more objective.
However, she tells us that the objective means giving all sides an equal hearing and talking all sides but not treating all sides equally.
It is not creating a forced moral equivalence or a factual equivalence. There is a truth in there.
Probably, I think that our minds will change the truth to fake(bad) news.
It means that if the TV says a true event, you add your thought with it and it will be spreading. Bad news has more ripple effect than true (good) news.

Words in this story
uncompromising / showing an unwillingness to make concessions to others, especially by changing one's ways or opinions.
potential /adj/ having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.
relieved /adj/ no longer feeling distressed or anxious; reassured.
factual /  truthful, true, concerned with what is actually the case rather than interpretations of or reactions to it.
ripple /noun/ ring on the water

Elizabeth Wayne : We can hack our immune cells to fight cancer

TED 2017
Elizabeth Wayne : We can hack our immune cells to fight cancer (transcript)
Summary
Our immune system has a natural ability to provide resistance to infection and toxins in our bodies.
However, we always use chemotherapy. It's so non-specific. It kills the cancer cells though it also kills the rest of your body. Some drugs ended up accumulating in the other organs or passing through your urine and leave your body.
The speaker created a new system to be able to directly deliver drugs to your cancer cells by using human design naturally.
She discovered that a nanoparticle made of lipids can naturally deliver special molecules which act as a glue to bind the nanoparticle to the immune cells, and only killing cancer cells without killing normal cells. By only using injection, drugs can go to the right places of the body.
It's going to be used not only for cancer but for all diseases. It can stop the drugs from killing the rest of your body.

Words in this story
resistance /noun/ the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument.  opposition to, hostility to, refusal to accept
resilience /noun/ the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.
urine /u・rine/jˈʊ(ə)rɪn/  piss, pissing

Lauren Sallan : How to win at evolution and survive a mass extinction (transcript)
Summary
Although audiences laughed at this speech, I think it is true that being alive now is fortunate and we won't stay here if we don't develop.
Our developments are not having three legs and weapons or not being able to eat other species, of course.
The speaker is a paleobiologist and she studies about evolution patterns from  500 million years ago fish data.
Fish could transform its form though there are many species that died off. We can't bring back extinct species.
We now have to think about our actions again. Is it better for our future?

Moshe Safdie 2: How to reinvent the apartment building

TED 2014
Moshe Safdie 2: How to reinvent the apartment building (transcript)
Summary
The speaker is an architect who designed “Habitat’ 67” which is now a heritage building.
Habitat 67 is the famous monolithic apartment built about 50 years ago in Canada.
Although it's an apartment, it has gardens and connects with nature and streets instead of corridors. It gives each unit unprecedented sense of desirable openness.
Nowadays, in the cities, there are many high-rise buildings and traffic congestion. Housings are too dense to achieve qualities of life. He noticed they need light, sun, and nature when he saw a lot of dense areas.
His goal is that housing should be a space having openness. Every unit has own private garden and community space. It does not form a wall or an obstruction in the city and light permeates everywhere.
He designed the world's longest swimming pool in Singapore also.

Words in this story
monolithic /adj/ formed of a single large block of stone.
unprecedented / never done or known before.
desirable /adj/ preferable, likeable
congestion /noun/  crowding, overcrowding, obstruction, the state of being congested.

Moshe Safdie 1: Building uniqueness

TED 2002

Moshe Safdie 1: Building uniqueness   (transcript)

Summary

What a strange building it is!

I was attracted to the first picture in this TED and I was sorry that I didn't know who designed and where this building was.

The building has been “Habitat’ 67” designed by Moshe Safdie in Canada. It's the famous monolithic apartment built about 50 years ago and it's now a  heritage building.

In this TED talk, the speaker is an architect Moshe Safdie who explains his other four design projects.

This is a bit unfortunate because I wanted him to explain about Habitat more and the world’s longest swimming pool in Singapore, in the hotel Marina Bay Sands.

It seems to be built after the talk.

He tells us that only buildings and museums are unique is not very meaningful. It's important for its side, its users and its places to be truly unique. The finding of their uniqueness is the key.

His thoughts is that his buildings are only complex and capricious are not satisfied. He thought that they should be some kind of a geometry generating idea.

Therefore, his geometry generates beauty. Something that people can't digest or understand is canceled or stopped. When places and understanding are prepared, he started his projects.

Designing is a search for beauty, so there is the beauty that is profoundly in the sense of fit. There's no fitness there, beauty isn't expressed. Only seeking truth leads to finding beauty.

We can see true beauty in his unique buildings.

Words in this story

capricious /noun/  freak, unusual, odd, strange, funny

vanity /noun/  conceit, narcissism, self-love, self-admiration, egotism

compatible /adj/  adaptable

Gus Casely-Hayford :The powerful stories that shaped Africa

TED 2017

Gus Casely-Hayford :The powerful stories that shaped Africa (transcript)

Summary

I think that the story is true that there are histories that are swapped histories and all countries have this problem not only Africa but also Asia and Japan.

There are people who takeover great countries. Thus they knew that those were great countries which had beautiful histories,

However, people who capture a country, of course, know it. Thus they continued to make stories.

Then those created stories become the true histories.

The speaker noticed that Africa remains roots that Africa was admired by the world, even it’s said that there is no history.

We are too busy every day to notice that our histories matter.

The struggles were endured, the sacrifices were made, narratives were being held.

This is the shocking story for us. However, this powerful story is needed to know how to shape true Africa.

words in this story

takeover /noun/ an act of assuming control of something, especially the buying out of one company by another.

swap /verb/ an act of exchanging one thing for another.

sway /vebr/ a rhythmical movement from side to side.

swear /verb/  promise, vow, pledge.

Suzanne Simard : How trees talk to each other

TED 2016

Suzanne Simard : How trees talk to each other (transcript)

Summary

This is a pretty talk because the speaker tells us that trees talk to each other, it’s true and she's proved it.

Talking means to communicate and to connect. Although you would imagine a sound that leaves make by wind blowing, the most important trees' communication is acting below ground. Roots could transmit carbon to another tree below ground. It means to share information. By measuring two types carbon, her experiment proved to be correct. Even trees that are not sufficiently irradiated with sunshine by covering with cloth were sending carbon to each other and she measured the mixed carbon. I thought that the sound measuring them was talking the trees, but it's acted always below ground. When we couldn't listen to, it’s acted.

Thus we have to know our forest more. 1)
In the forest, harmony is important. Less cutting is necessary though no cutting is not necessary. 2)

We need to conserve trees which can withstand the future stresses coming down the road. 3)
Then we need to regenerate our forest with a diversity and having self healing power. 4)

I think that all living things are much more than what we see. They're supercooperators. We have to listen to their voices more when we can't see them also.

Words in this story

mycelium / the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a network of fine white filaments (hyphae).

photosynthesis / the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Shonda Rhimes 2: The future of storytelling

TED 2017

Shonda Rhimes 2: The future of storytelling (transcript)

Summary

What happened to the speaker?

The speaker is a very famous writer Shonda Rhimes. Recently, it's said that almost all her programs are very popular and last year, her TED talk made all audiences impressed. The title was "My year of saying yes to everything".

I did not overlook her grumpy eyes’ movements when the presenter Cyndi Stivers told her that.  "I am glad you raised your daughters".

First, Shonda Rhimes tells us that good stores are never going to change. Then she answered, " No, I don't know".

That question was who was doing interesting storytelling right now?

This is definitely strange because she has to write interesting stories as the famous writer forever or she must want to write it. If she didn't know it is true, it will be better to be in a different manner.

Although I only know about Japan, people seem to like watching Youtube more than TV and they are busy to use their smartphones. Even there are good stores in the smartphone, and in the internet, there are too many of it, thus people won't notice it. I think that good stories have to change to more better stories with the times. The business model, medium, and we are changing every day. It'll mean progress.

We have to learn respectfully, live gratefully and make progress steadily.

Stephanie Busari : How fake news does real hams

TED 2017

Stephanie Busari : How fake news does real hams (transcript)

Summary

A fake news delays solving an incident.

Nowadays, there are many kinds of fake news in the world.

A news that didn't happen is announced that it happened.

However, one trouble happened, but it's announced that it didn't happen. People believed that it didn't happen and the trouble was forgotten.

Nigeria's politicians told that Boko Haram’s kidnapping in Nigeria was a hoax, thus no one tried solving it.

Only the speaker asks tough questions to the government and listens to the story of victims to solve. We have to check and verify a news definitely.  Someone might take advantage by sharing this information and it might have a hidden agenda.

We have to stop the spread of fake news to solve it early.

Words in this story

Elif Shafak 2: The revolutionary power of diverse thought

TED 2017

Elif Shafak 2: The revolutionary power of diverse thought (transcript)

Summary

We must taste words more freely.

The speaker tells us that she can taste words.

The taste of her motherland “Turkey” is a mixture of sweet and bitter and “Storyland” that writers write is the taste of freedom.

Then I wonder what the taste of my country “Japan” is.

I think that it's the taste of the white rice. Japanese rice is exceptional and it's different from other countries.

It's affected where it's made and which water is used.  

Sushi rice is used for vinegared rice and Onigiri is put on salt.

Some people say that it has no taste though it means the Japanese rice goes well with anything.

The Japanese white rice is pure and has innocent taste.  

Japanese people say that they want to eat the white rice when they remember motherland Japan or their mothers. After traveling overseas for a long time, they often say that.  

The speaker would seek freedom and diversity because there are no binaries in politics, emotions, and even our identities.  No one notices the devastation that loss of diversity brings.  

The truth is complicated, thus we would stop talking and shut down our minds.

However, she tells us that we should never, ever remain silent for fear of complexity.
Words have the revolutionary power of diverse thought.

Elif Shafak 1: The politics of fiction

TED 2010

Elif Shafak 1: The politics of fiction (transcript)

Summary

We must enjoy fiction stories more without thinking identities of not only writers but also you and politics.

Fiction stories have a lot of magic to connect all humanity and help our imaginations.

We don’t find identities of writers in fiction stories but we feel the connection of the characters in them beyond each identity.

In the TED talk, the speaker is a Turkish writer. She just wanted to love and celebrate fiction she wrote for what it is, however, she was prosecuted because of her fiction stories. It could be admitted for fiction stories to be entitled to political opinions though we ruin them.

We will produce stereotypes ourselves. We tend to form clusters based on similarity and we create walls. Surrounding something with thick walls is drying up inside. Something is an acne, a blemish or even the human soul.

Due to the place we are in is the small circle, if we keep staying there, our imagination shrinks, hearts dwindle, and humanness might wither.

Something that is strange and elusive is important for us.

Writers can write fiction more freely and we can feel them more widely.

Words in this itory

entitled /  qualify, give (someone) a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something.

dwindle /dwin・dle/dwíndl/ diminish, decrease, reduce, lessen, shrink

humanness /  manhood, humanity

wither / dry up, wilt, droop, go limp, fade

demolish /  knock down, pull down, tear down, bring down, destroy

dismantle /  take apart, pull apart, pull to pieces

Trump calls Japan ‘crucial ally’ after arriving for first leg of Asia tour (article)

Summary

U.S.President Donald Trump visited Japan on Sunday to meet Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan's Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, and the families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Koreans.

Trump is going to South Korea, China,The Philippines, and Vietnam after visiting Japan.

Asian countries are facing problems that are North Korea crisis and territorial disputes with Chain in the South China Sea.

However, provoking North Korea is more dangerous, China won’ listen to anything, and only two countries are getting closer will lead other countries to jealousy.

Additionally, when leader is not present, big accidents sometimes occur.

Even the order of visiting become a problem.

Countries don't have compassion but it continues teaching children.

I don't think that it teaches country’s history. I think that all countries overcome their history and we're have to cooperate for our better future beyond it.
